A gourmet visit not to be missed 🍫
A little nugget for chocolate lovers. The visit is simple, authentic and above all delicious: we discover how chocolate is made, from the bean to the bar. The best part? The tasting, obviously... difficult to leave without some sweets. The welcome is warm and you can feel the passion behind each chocolate. A perfect break for the curious, gourmets and anyone who thinks that chocolate always deserves a little attention.

An AMAZING experience around chocolate!
What a fantastic discovery in Siem Reap! The Chocolate Factory is a real little paradise for chocolate lovers ❤️ Upon arrival, we feel the passion and professionalism of the whole team. The welcome is warm, the atmosphere is friendly, and the visit is simply exciting. We discover the entire manufacturing process, from the cocoa bean to the tablet, with clear, lively explanations full of anecdotes. Tasting is pure happiness 🤩 Chocolates are rich, balanced, and with original flavors inspired by Cambodia. Every bite is a surprise!

Deliciously interesting!
WHEN you have a chocolate factory barely a quarter of a mile away from where you are staying in Siem Reap then a visit is inevitable. It is just off Angkor Night Market Street and a large "Chocolate Factory" sign alerts visitors that they have arrived. A $2 tuktuk ride will get you there from pretty much anywhere in Siem Reap. This attraction is in its infancy but it's rough and ready approach to tourism only adds to its charm. For a start, when you arrive it is not immediately apparent where you have to go, but if you look to the left side of the building there is a narrow alley down which you walk until you reach doors which can be opened into a wide admission area where staff will quickly approach you and ask if you want a tour. The cost is only $5 and you must wear a hair net and leave bags outside the working area for hygiene reasons. Our guide told us that we were in Cambodia's first chocolate factory and gave us some information and demonstrations about the whole process from where the plants which produce beans for chocolate grow best to how those beans are processed. We had a chance to taste some of the granules from early stages in the process before we moved on into different sections covering everything from butter to liquid chocolate. Then we were shown round more sections where we saw how different flavours of chocolate bar are hand-made with the ingredients from mango to black pepper painstakingly added. One order from a hotel for a 1,000 hand-made chocolates was being done while we were there and we watched as individual pieces of fruit were added to the chocolate. Very labour intensive but then this is quality rather than quantity. Crucially -- from our point of view -- we got to taste different flavours, as many as we wanted....and there were several dozen! At the end we bought several bars include mango milk chocolate and one with ginger in it. Delicious! Don't miss a chance to come here because it is an attraction you don't see everywhere.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience with us 🍫 We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting our chocolate factory, learning about the bean-to-bar process, and tasting our handcrafted Cambodian chocolate. Your feedback truly reflects the spirit of our work: artisanal production, made by hand, with care, passion, and a strong focus on quality over quantity. We’re also very happy you enjoyed the different flavors and took some favorites home with you. Thank you for supporting a young and growing project. We look forward to welcoming you again very soon in Siem Reap! Warm regards, The WAT Chocolate Team

Lovely guided tour with tastings.
It costs $5 per person for the tour, but it is worth it! We had a one on one tour with a lady who worked there, you go inside the small factory and see each step of the process. The lady explained the whole process while you went through and, allowed you to taste the chocolate at all the different stages, as well as taste many of the finished products. She answered all my questions, we also were given a bottle of water. Every step is done by hand and they use local cambodian products. At the end, you can browse and taste the many flavours they have in the shop before buying, if you wish.

Siem Reap – Visit to Cambodia’s first chocolate factory: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siem Reap.
How much does Siem Reap – Visit to Cambodia’s first chocolate factory cost?
+
Prices start at $7 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siem Reap usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Siem Reap – Visit to Cambodia’s first chocolate factory take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siem Reap is not rushed.
Is Siem Reap – Visit to Cambodia’s first chocolate factory worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siem Reap, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Siem Reap – Visit to Cambodia’s first chocolate factory?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Siem Reap – Visit to Cambodia’s first chocolate factory suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 0.8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Siem Reap – Visit to Cambodia’s first chocolate factory?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siem Reap can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siem Reap and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Siem Reap – Visit to Cambodia’s first chocolate factory start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siem Reap within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siem Reap?
+
On Outty we rank every Siem Reap experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angkor Wat Sunrise or Sunset Tour with Guide from Siem Reap, 2 Days Guided Historical Tour in Angkor, Angkor Wat full Day 'Small Group with sunset & Tour Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siem Reap?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siem Reap?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
